The Indiana State Library (ISL) is digitizing some of its newspaper microfilm collection in partnership with Newspapers.com. As part of ISL’s deal with Newspapers.com, Indiana residents can get free access to the content we are providing by logging-in via INSPIRE. We’ve also been able to include content previously provided to Newspapers.com from the Allen County Public Library. Currently, there are over 1,250,000 pages available through the INSPIRE portal.

TO ACCESS THE CONTENT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Go to INSPIRE.in.gov . If you try accessing INSPIRE at an Indiana library you shouldn’t need to log-in. However, if you try accessing INSPIRE via your home, coffee shop, work place, etc. you may need to create a log-in. Again, if you are an Indiana resident access to the select Newspapers.com content is free via INSPIRE.
